went out for a spin on my Ducati today, just got a GoPro camera so thought I'd try out the chest mount prior to a trackday I'm doing at Brands Hatch on the 12th April.

Glad I did as some muppet tried running me off the road....

 
Kin 'ell, knob head.

When I see car drivers like that though , I make sure I accelerate quickly past them and keep as much distance as possible for that very reason.
 
Something like that always happens w/out fail,everytime I ride!!.My moto safety instructor said "Ride like everyone is trying to kill you" Words to live by.. JK... but not really.
 
Those cameras are pretty nifty, but I will never understand how people drive that crazily. I have to agree with you guys though: what I've learned from my MSF course have probably saved my life several times over by now, even though it all seems obvious at this point.
 
What a total prick, lets hope someone rams him on his bicycle one day. But yeah you probably shouldnt have hung next to him so long. And if you gonna make a hand gesture of anger/frustration/abuse you probably want to do it as you pass not from behind and then sit there next to him, lol. Ive ridden bikes on the road since i was 15 (i never had a car till my early 20's) and one thing i have learnt is you are the lowest in the pecking order of traffic apart from pedestrians and bicycles...trucks reign supreme:laugh:

And also these days you never know how someone gonna react or how prone they are to road rage. Your better off not getting pissed off and getting away from the scene imo, better to swallow your pride and ride off even if they are total ass holes like this guy and deserve abuse. But yeah that was inbeleivable, this guy was willing to knock someone off theyre bike and potentially kill them. I would be tempted to give the footage to the cops so he gets done for it.

looked like intent to me. send it to the cops, and the local tv station. Nothin like a little public shame.

not sure if the police in the UK would actually do anything.... they tend to blame the biker for everything lol
